August 16 Let us pray: God our Father, we have been reminded of the destruction and even death that water can bring, and we can reflect that we are called to die to selfishness and sin - living, instead, in the fullness of life that Jesus promises. In a country that is blessed with an abundance of water, perhaps we don’t fully appreciate how vital water is for all life. Water is used as a sign in Baptism - a symbol of dying to selfishness and sin, and living the new life that Jesus brings. When Jesus was baptised in the River Jordan, he was placing himself beside all who had sinned and needed to make a new start and live in a better way. At that time, Father, you were heard to say that Jesus was your well-loved Son, and the Holy Spirit rested upon him. Fill us with your Spirit that we may grow in the realisation and faith that we, too, are your sons and daughters whom you love greatly. Amen. August 17 Pray for Others I pray for others, knowing they are loved and protected. I hold my loved ones in prayer today remembering that, no matter what may be happening in their lives, they are divinely supported and their needs are met. The kingdom of God is their abundant supply. There is only One Presence and One Power in the Universe—God the good. The power of God lives in each of us. I see my loved ones joyfully experiencing the power and presence of God in their lives. As we walk through this life together, we each express the divine in our own unique way. Appreciating this truth, I send love to every living being on planet Earth. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth … so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.—Ephesians 3:18-19 Daily Word Regular prayer not applicable. August 18 Let us pray: God our Father, we read of the commandment “do not kill” and think it doesn’t apply to us because we don’t take anyone’s life. Yet there are times when we take life from others by cruel words, sarcasm, doing people down, and gossiping. Lead us to choose to bring life to others - and not death. Inspire us to break the cycle of whatever is negative or violent or evil whenever we encounter them. Let us not look for vengeance - to get our own back - but lead us to be generous and ready to conquer evil with goodness. Amen.
